Social networking site MySpace launched "Data Availability," an initiative that allows its users to share their public profile data to websites such as eBay, Yahoo, Twitter and Photobucket.

MySpace users can add MySpace bios, interests, pictures and videos to their eBay profiles. According to the press release, "When browsing or transacting on eBay, the availability of external social information can help users make good decisions quickly about whom they can do business with, and perhaps even make a new friend."

Matt Ackley, eBay Vice President of Internet Marketing said, "As the world's largest social commerce site, eBay is dedicated to creating a social context and personality for the people with whom you transact."
